[WG: I18N & L10N] Google Scholar i18n question

[Beth Kirschner]

Hi Jim,

I've attached two files: 

hello_ja.utf8 contains the UTF8 encoded characters for "hello" in Japanese
hello_ja.txt  contains the ascii-encoded UTF8 characters for "hello" in Japanese

"CTools" is the local branding for Sakai at Michigan. To make this work, we define a key-value pair to associate the key "ctools.umich.edu" with the value "CTools" and then the Citations Helper submits the key "ctools.umich.edu" with each search, and Google uses the value "CTools" in our users' search results.

We would like to figure out how to deal with non-ascii characters before somebody actually needs this feature.  I'm looking for someone who would help me figure this out.  I would like to insert a key-value pair into the registry for testing purposes.  Please contact me if you can help with this.  It will involve very little time.  I will just ask for you to provide a string with non-ascii characters in various formats until we understand what format is needed to make it work with Google.  I'm guessing this would be essentially like providing translation for one string.
